RSVP for free lunch during an exclusive Lecture Series

Set in the beautiful Lake Point Restaurant in Bella Vista and the contemporary Hoolihans Restaurant in Rogers, Blue Wave Hearing is hosting a two-day Brain Hearing Lecture Series on July 11th and July 12th. These important educational seminars will be highlighting nearly 15 years’ worth of research exploring the relationship between aging, hearing loss, and dementia.

Doctor of Audiology, Hope Rowe describes the purpose of the seminar, “We are concerned that hearing loss might be a leading indicator for other health concerns. For example, we know that many patients become increasingly isolated when hearing loss becomes a problem, and that’s another risk factor involved with dementia. However, the good news is that many are discovering solutions for hearing loss are not only effective in the short term, but also provide substantially better outcomes for the future.”

In fact, those who choose to seek treatment for hearing loss will be happy to know that they have also reduced their risk of serious cognitive disease. According to recent research by Johns Hopkins, people with hearing loss face a 36% increase in the risk of dementia. These findings appear to reinforce the results of another study of 2,000 adults, in which individuals with only mild to moderate hearing loss were found to be 24% more likely to see their cognitive function diminish early. W Blue Wave Hearing Centers, supported by advocates at AARP, encourage people as young as 50 to have hearing exams every year. To support this mission, Blue Wave offices will perform free hearing screenings through the end of this month for those who attend the seminars in Rogers or Bella Vista. If you or a loved one are experiencing symptoms of hearing loss, don’t miss this opportunity. Call (479) 202-9687 to RSVP.

“As the science of hearing loss continues to expand, we are seeing an increase in the number of people who are ready to embrace innovative hearing solutions,” says Dr. Beth Muller of Blue Wave Hearing Centers. “So far, the evidence seems to suggest that increased hearing sensitivity helps keep the brain sharp, and as more people seek amplification through hearing devices, we end up with a mentally sharper, healthier population as a whole.”

Blue Wave Hearing Centers are proud to promote better hearing and have been serving Northwest Arkansas for over 19 years. Call us at (479) 202-9687 to RSVP for these exclusive lectures series, or visit us at www.BlueWaveHearing.com for more information about hearing and cognition.
